djwilhoite Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Today I began the remodel of our 1987 Sunrader. I knew the carpet in the cab area was house carpet and wanted it gone asap. I did not however know the method for fastening it down. This makes me a little irritated. Someone used screws to fasten the carpet to the floorboard. The screws went through. WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE DO THIS?! I just started the driver's side and have removed over 30 screws. Any thoughts on filling the holes?

neubie Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 yes, unfortunately that was the approach then. Soon you will meet the staples in the house portion. You can use a filler, or alternatively just new screws. You will probably need bondo here and there either way at this age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 My 86 Sunrader only had staples. Is yours an east coast version, flat front windows, or a west coast, wrap around front. The staples can also be very irritating because they used about a thousand or more. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwilhoite Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Mine is the East coast version. I got automotive seam sealer to fill in the holes in the floorboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
